Notice Information
Notice Title
Air cooling system for Particle Physics Research
Notice Description
A portable controlled-air system, to be delivered as soon as possible once funding becomes available on 1st October 2022. The proposed system should have remote control via a suitable interface (eg: USB, GP IB, UDP IP, RS 232 or Ethernet). The unit needs to be portable, have a low noise while running and be energy efficient. It is required to provide a continuous airflow to a sample while regulating the flow rate, temperature and possibly humidity. These parameters should all be independently adjustable. The regulated airflow should be delivered via a thermally insulated hose or flexible duct that has the ability to be connected to a surface, providing an air tight seal.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The Bristol particle physics group is part of a number of collaborations that are working to develop new detector and other electronic systems. Such development programmes require the ability to test new electronic devices under a range of environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) for extended periods. The purpose of this PIN is to engage the market to investigate solutions for a portable, controlled airflow system to provide dry air to a device under test. The system should be able to connect to a variety of bespoke vessels to provide a dry temperature regulated environment. This will allow us to increase our testing capacity, and give us the flexibility to test a much larger variety of systems. This includes testing devices too large to fit into the current chamber, and the ability to replicate the directed flow cooling often used in experiments. Please see Short Description for the Overall Scope of Requirements. The contract shall be on the University of Bristol Standard Terms and Conditions. A copy of this may be requested. Essential Requirements * Continuous, variable, airflow:- zero to 20 M3/h * Variable, regulated, temperature:- -50degC to +150degC * Remote control interface:- USB, GPIB, UDPIP, RS232, Ethernet or similar. * Flow delivery via a flexible hose or ducting with an airtight connector or face seal. * Portable:- unit should be on wheels making relocation easier. * Condensation trap:- a method for collecting and disposing of condensation within the unit. Desirable Requirements * Variable, regulated, humidity:- 0% to 100% * Low noise:- limited sound and vibration from equipment. * External monitoring:- The ability to add aftermarket sensors to monitor downstream conditions. * Locking articulation:- A way to fix the position of the delivery hose once a suitable path has been decided. * Simple operation should be "plug-and-play" with minimal setup or commissioning. * The equipment should comply with CE/UKCA Standards. Additional information: Interested providers are invited to respond to this PIN by sending a short email to helen.warren@bristol.ac.uk by close of business 29th July 2022. The email should include: compliance to Essential & Desirable criteria and UK standards; Energy Usage and other Sustainability benefits; Delivery Lead-times; System Support & Frequency of service intervals; Training; Other relevant information.
